Thread: Tongue jack stuck down help

Trailer tongue jack is stuck in the down position. when i wind it down it will go done when i wind it up the handle just spins... any help any solutions? right now it is all the way down ready to drive it that way and watch the sparks fly.

First, I know this problem and to get it off the ground you just get a regular hydraulic floor jack to lift the trailer tongue,
then once the jack's up a bit lift it out as you normally would, as high as you can get it.

Then...
Before you get into things with a cutter you ought to inspect it closely and see how it's attached to the tongue,
because on mine it takes a clip (a big one) and I ended up letting the guys down at the trailer shop take mine off,
because I was able to replace it with another OEM for all of $20 and they did all the work, too.
Might've been 25 but it was just a big C-clip or ring that holds it on.

Or you can get an aftermarket but you'll have a bolt-on, mine's a welded-on bracket.
Again the choice is yours, I'm just one of those fanatics, I had to have mine done right.
